A Will, Estate & Probate Lawyer That You Can Trust

Our experience covers both Supreme Court Probate applications pursuant to the terms of a Will and also applications for Letters of Administration where there is no Will which can be more complex.

We have also dealt with many Deceased Estates and can also provide a fixed rate for our fees which is usually less than the scheduled Supreme Court rate which caps legal fees.

We deal with all requisitions from the Court on your behalf and pride ourselves on expediting the process swiftly whilst keeping you apprised of the progress of the application.

Where the estate requires the sale of real estate, as an additional free service we also source the most appropriate real estate agency to deal with the sale by giving you a choice of several agencies identified through an extensive vetting process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my estate go to the Government if I die without a will?

Your estate would only go to the Government when you die without making a Will and you do not have any family.

What is a Grant of Probate and who can apply for a Grant of Probate?

A Grant of Probate is a court order confirming that a Will is valid and therefore the probate is granted in favour of the executor. The grant of probate gives the executor the legal authority to distribute and deal with the assets of the estate in accordance with the wishes of the deceased. The person or persons named in the Will as the Executors are responsible for applying for a Grant of Probate. If the first named Executor has passed away or is unable to act as the Executor because they are unwell, then the person named as the substitute or alternate Executor will be able to make the application to the Supreme Court.

What are the legal requirements for a valid will?

For a Will to be considered valid in New South Wales, it must be in writing, signed by the will-maker (testator) and witnessed by at least two independent people who are present at the same time the testator signs the Will. The witnesses must also sign the Will to confirm that they were present and witnessed it. The Beneficiary to the Will cannot be the witness of the Will.

What is an Enduring Guardianship?

An Appointment of Enduring Guardian is a legal document that allows you to appoint another person (or persons) to make decisions about your lifestyle, health and medical treatments on your behalf, if you no longer have the mental capacity to make these decisions for yourself. Someone who is your Guardian is able to help decide where you live, arrange care services on your behalf (such as in-home care) and give consent on your behalf for medical and dental treatment. The document also allows you to give any directions you have concerning your end-of-life treatment. When you appoint more than one enduring Guardian, you must state whether your guardians are to be appointed jointly or whether they can act independently of each other.

An Appointment of Enduring Guardian will only come into effect at any time you have lost the mental capacity to make your own decisions and could be temporary or permanent depending on the period of incapacity.

What is the difference between a power of attorney and an enduring guardianship?

A Power of Attorney is a legal document that allows an individual (known as the principal) to appoint another person (known as the attorney) to make decisions about your financial property and manage your financial affairs. An Enduring Guardianship is a legal document that allows you to appoint another person to make decisions on your behalf regarding your medical, health and lifestyle decisions when you lose mental capacity.
